If your floors need a splash of vibrant color and a touch of sculptural artistry, the latest collaboration from award-winning British rug designer Sonya Winner and American architect Kevin McClellan might just be the palette cleanser you need. Inspired by the mesmerizing canyons of Sedona, Arizona, the aptly named Sedona series, which includes the Sedona Square Rug and Sedona Irregular Rug, follows up on Winner’s 2021 Antelope Canyon collection, both marrying bold design with the beauty of nature. This time, the Sedona rugs capture the intense, earthy hues and organic silhouettes of the region’s sandstone landscapes, blending bold design with the awe-inspiring beauty of nature.
Winner’s signature use of irregular compositions and organic shapes found new depth through McClellan’s inventive architectural approach. His unique perspective on form and space artistically captures the lines, colors, and shapes of the Sedona landscape. “When you’re in Sedona and surrounded by the valleys, it’s very inspiring. The variation in the rock formation is like nothing else. It’s a nexus of different typographies and climate zones from icy cold rivers created by the snowmelt to red rock and shrubby bush,” says McClellan. “The juxtaposition of plants and rocks sparked my idea for the series and the collaboration with Sonya has allowed me to come back to Sedona and see it with fresh eyes.”
Breaking away from traditional rectilinear shape, the Sedona rugs feel almost sculptural, even as they lie flat on the floor. Each piece is assembled in layers, handcrafted by a dedicated artisanal team to ensure that every line, color, and curve feels as natural and effortless as the landscape it reflects. Crafted from sustainable and durable New Zealand wool, the rugs are made to last as long as the canyons have been standing.
The Sedona collection is available in six sizes, with bespoke options ready for those who dream big. Each one is ready to offer a slice of Arizona’s unparalleled beauty – right beneath your feet.
